(By Manuel tie Coste.)
Fifteen or eighteen yarn ago wo
wlio had secured leased for our liomc
sites oh Punchbowl were stirred by
the accounts in coast newspapers of
the diiliculties . met' by our fellow
townsman, Joe Fernandez, the bar
ber. Joe was then the Beau Brum
mel of the slopo; the eligible among
the swell barbers in the city and
piling up money. But he slippcri
the proverbial lemon to the Portu
. gucsc maidens on tho hill and hied
himself to San Francisco .to woo the
girl of his choice. The difficulties
mentioned above were mainly the
objections of tho girl's parents and
relatives. They had other ideas for
her and besides, she was o'er young
to marry yet. The newspaper ac
count of the dash and the chase by
relatives was indeed interesting to
every one on Punchbowl. Joo had
hard luck, but finally landed the
prize, brought hor to the islands,
prospored in business so that he now
has a fine seven chair shop, with a
foreman to relieve him of details,
the lease on tho Arlington, -having
thought before Madan Langton,
and got the document signed, sealed
and delivered. Now comes tho sequel
to tho runaway match.
I have not seen Mrs. Joo for years
and then she was one of tho pre
tiest and most attractive girl's at
tending nino o'clock mass in the
Cathedral, and so good at' heart was
she that sho was never calkylupon
to say Hail Mary's or Our Father's
as pennance for storing up evil
thoughts. And Joo was near-good.
Good looking beyond tho average,
and keen for business. But ho has
changed and, tho natural turn of
events in the average Portuguese
woman prompts mo to tho belief
that Mrs. Joo may havo grown as
fat and em bompointy as others
of her race. It is for that reason
that the husband, who chased over
two counties and dodged horsewhips
and bullets to get hor, now passes
her up, if tho libel in the divorce
just filed by Mrs. Joe, counts for
anything. At all events his and her

sure, and many not so sure, young
men to whom she admits having
been engaged during tho past three
or four years. Haynes was the win
ner and whether it was his short,
tight trousers covering his sparse
collection of calves, or just his win
ning ways that got her heart, I am
not in a position to say. In tho
matter of personal appearance and
physical charms Mrs. Haynes, that
is, has sufficient to divide with her
husband and still be a Venus in
form. Her mother, Mrs. Garnze,
who is said to bo wealthy beyond the
dreams of etc., says she will not
havo anything to do with her
daughter as long as sho is tho wifo
of the Haynes person, and Mrs.
Haynes gives equal promiso and as-

But sho seems to regret, according
to tho newspaper story, that she

What the Wrestlers. Boxers and Base
Ball Artists Are Doing.
Whether tho American nssocation
will withdrtw from the national
agreement and declare war on major
leagues is now up to the members of
that organization, the national base
ball commission having denied all
its demands.
The commission gave "the Amer
ican association until September 10
to answer whether it will operate un
der tho national agreement. At tho
samo time the commission made it
plain that if tho association decides
to withdraw from the national agree
ment organized baseball will con
tinue to flourish in tho eight cities
of the association.
Tho Windy City Bowling league
abolished tho ' dodo" ball recently.
file National Bowling association,
which controls the game in the east,
put a ban on the ball last spring.
Tho ' dodo" ball is made by taking
two halves of different balls and
gluing them together, tho heavier
half enabling the sphere to take a
sweeping hook.and cleaning up more
pins than an ordinary ball would
knock down.
Matty Wells, English lighweight
champion, added to his fistic laurels
by outboxing and outfighting
Knockout" Brown, tho Now York
lightweight, in a 10 round bout be
fore probably tho largest crowd that
ever witnessed a pugilistic contest in
New York city. Tho bout, the second
to bo held under tho new boxing
law, brought a crowd of probably
14,000 persons to Madison Square
garden.
Tho British champion was never
in danger at any peirod during the
milling, and left tho ring unmarked
while Knockout" Brown was
bleeding about tho mouth and from
a cut under his right eye.
Wells, cool and calculating de
fense had tho American sorely puz
zled, and hejropelied Brown's attack
from every angle. Brown could not
solve the Englishman's left jab,
which played about his face with
lightninglike rapidity and kept the
American from doing any damage at
infighting.
Seven of tho rounds clearly belong
ed to Wells. Referee Charley White
had to caution both men frequently
in the clinches. The battle gave
Knockout' ' Brown's champion
aspirations a severe setback.
In tho minds of tho vast crowd'
that saw tho great wrestling match,

. Hawaii's chief crop today issugar,
and that product will probably for a,
long time to come continue to head
the list of tho assets of these Islands.
But thqre is another crop which,
with a little cultivation, could easily
be made to rank as a close second to
the saccharine product. In Southern
California it is not oranges upon

mainly depends as a source of in

Tho samo might well be made to a

Tlfc Promotion Committee is do
ing everything in its power, with tho
too limited means at its disposal, to
induce tourists to visit Hawaii, and
its efforts aro meeting with more
success each year. Tho number of
tourists who como to tho Islands is
steadily increasing. Yet the fact re
mains that business is far from being
the general asset that it should be.
Where docs the trouble lie?
The answer is obvious, though per
haps not too generally recognized.
Tho Promotion Committeo induces
tho tourist to como to Hawaii, but
what does Hawaii do for him when
ho gets hero?
Hawaii has plenty, to offer tho visit
or for Ins entertainment but is it
offered? Hardly. The tourist is left
to his own devices, asked to fufnisl
his own entertainment, told, by iiv
ference, to look after himself because
wo arc too busy or too indolent
QT too negligent to bother about him
ourselves. Result:
Mr. Tourist very often gets tho
roughly bored in about two or three
weeks that ho prays for tho day to
como when tho steemship companies
and our hidebound coastwise ship
ping laws will graciously permit him
to shake tho dust of Honolulu from
his feet. And ho goes back homo and
tells his friends and relatives, "Yes,
Honolulu is a beautiful place but you
am see it all in two or three days and
then there is nothing to do."
Nothing for tho tourist to do I And
yet we havo not only tho Volcano,
but Haleakala, Iao Vally, tho Koo-
lau ditch trail, tho beautiful secenpry
of northern Kauai, not to speak of
the many delightful rides and drives
around Honolulu of which tho aver
age tourist remains in total ignoranco
throughout his stay because nobody
takes tho trouble to tell him what to
do or whero to go.
Southern California, notwith
standing tho immense volumo of its
tourist trado, has not anything liko
tho natural resources that Hawaii
has, from a tourist-business stand
point. But Southern California
knows how to make tho best use of
what sho has to work with while
Hawaii, with prodigal - negligcnco,
lets her opportunities pass and wond
ers why she doesn't reap the profit
that she has been told ought to bo
hers.
If theso Islands aro to make tho
most of their opportunities, wo must
do more than induce tho tourist to
como hero; wo must take- measures to
sco that ho is properly entertained
during his stay. If that is dono, he
will not only stay longer but will want
to como back, and will bo certain to
urge his friends to como. If ho goes
away with a grouch, ho will as cer

Maui Athletic Association Plan to Start
League Series September 24.
The baseball situation is gradual
ly coming along, and at the meeting
of the Athletic Association in the
Pown Hall last Monday evening, a
permanent organization was formed.
Mr. C. E. Meyers was elected pres
ident, Mr. W. T. Robinson, vice
president; Mr. John Garcia, secre
tary; Capt. Bal, treasurer. It was
the concensus of opinion of ..thoso
present that as the baseball season
is nearly over that a short series
should be arranged at once, and
playing begin Sunday September 24.
The secretary was instructed to
notify those interested that all
teams desiring to play in tho scries
should be entered on or before
Wednesday, the 20th of September.
This will give tho officials an oppor
tunity to arrange tho series. It is
proposed that each team shall put
up a guarantee with tho association
that they will play through tho en
tire series. r
The next meeting of tho Associa
tion will be held at the Town Hall,
Wednesday evening, September 20,
when tho executive committee will
present a set of rules and by-laws
for the consideration of tho mem
bers. ' -
Considerable interest is being
developed in the scries and' four or
five teams are expected to enter.
Copt. Bal has tho men working Jon
tho grading of the outfield and by
tho time play commences, Wailuku
will have as good baseball grounds
as can be found on the islands. Tho
diamond has been skinned along
tho base lines about 30 feet wide .
When this is rolled the balls will
bound truo for the fielders and also
make the game much faster.
A large attendanco is requested
at tho next meeting of the Associa
tion not only from 'Wailuku, but
also from outlying districts.
Kaai's Singers Coming.
Ernest Kaai's quintet club and
hula daucers arrived tjiis morning
on tho Claudine. They will sing
and dance tonrght and Monday
evening in Paia. This club of sing
ers is tho best on the islands, and
tho dancers havo been making a hit
in Honolulu. Mr. Kaai has just re
turned from a tour of Australia
whero ho made tho greatest hit of
any troupe of singers who over left
tho islands.
Miss Agnes Misener of Seattle, and
Miss Clara Towusenil of Dawson, arrived
this week from the coast. They will lie
the teachers at the Puuncnc school.
whero often ho is looked upon as a
widely traveled man becauso ho has
been to Hawaii, can do moro harm
than a hugo volumo of promotion
literature can do goefd.
Tho tourist doesn't ask to bo en
tertained for nothing. Those who
como hero can usually afford to pay
modorately well for what they get. So
taking euro of them may bo well put.
But tho opportunity offered is being
neglected, to tho great detriment of
tho community and tho loss of many
dollars.
What it would appear is most
needed is some organized effort not
only to secure tho tourist hut to
keep him as long as possible, look
after him as assiduously as may Ihi
and induce- him to como back as
quickly and as frequently as ho is
ablo.
